Do you want to remove leading/trailing double-bytes-whitespace chars? I mean the double-bytes-whitespace to be a UNICODE char of \u3000.
The java.lang.String#trim() does not see the \u3000 as a whitespace which it should chop off. To remove the \u3000 char, I think you would need fair amount of custom code. Following dirty code may suggest you something. --------------------------------------------------------------- class DoubleBytesWhitespaceTrimmer { static char doubleBytesWhitespace = '\u3000' ; public static String trim(String s) { String leadingTrimmed = trimLeadingChar(s , doubleBytesWhitespace); String rev = reverse(leadingTrimmed); return reverse(trimLeadingChar(rev , doubleBytesWhitespace)); } private static String trimLeadingChar(String s , char c) { char[] chars = s.toCharArray(); StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer(); int index; for (index = 0; index < chars.length; index++) { if (chars[index] == c) ; else break; } for ( ;index < chars.length; index++) { b.append(chars[index]); } return b.toString(); } private static String reverse(String s) { char[] chars = s.toCharArray(); StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer(); for (int x = chars.length - 1; x >= 0 ; x--) { b.append(chars[x]); } return b.toString(); } public static void main(String[] args) { StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer(); b.append(doubleBytesWhitespace); b.append("foo"); b.append(doubleBytesWhitespace); System.out.println("source : [" + b.toString() + "]"); String trimmed= DoubleBytesWhitespaceTrimmer.trim(b.toString()); System.out.println("trimed : [" + trimmed + "]"); System.out.println("\"foo\".equals(\"" + trimmed + "\") ? " + "foo".equals(trimmed)); } } ----------------------------------------------- This gives following output for me. ----------------------------------------------- source : [ foo ] trimed : [foo] "foo".equals("foo") ? true "Pham Anh Tuan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] 宛先: "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> rp.jp> cc: 件名: [HELP] I couldn't trim() 1 japanese String (charset UTF-8) 2005/06/21 20:03 "Struts Users Mailing List" へ 返信してください Hi all, I got 1 problem when I trying to eliminate spaces at ride side and left side of 1 japanese String.
